The Entomologist'S Record And Journal Of Variation (Volume 76) 1964 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789354306426)

A meticulous window into mid-twentieth-century British entomology. Essential reading for insect lovers. Volume 76 (1964) of The Entomologist's Record and Journal of Variation presents a concentrated scholarly insect anthology: concise lepidoptera research articles, field notes and taxonomic observations that probe insect species variation across the United Kingdom fauna. As a scientific periodical of the 1960s it captures the language of careful measurement and debate, with specimen records, distributional notes and classification arguments that illuminate both practice and discovery. While written for a specialist readership, many entries read as brisk field reports, full of locality detail and dated observation; natural history enthusiasts and local recorders will find the immediacy rewarding, as will professional taxonomists tracing historical threads. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As historical entomological records, these pages offer a direct view of mid twentieth century science at work: lively observation, incremental taxonomic revision and the kinds of methodological notes that underpin modern taxonomy and classification. The volume is valuable as academic reference entomology, serving researchers, period librarians and anyone consulting historical species accounts. Curators and collectors assembling an entomology journal collection or a scholarly insect anthology will appreciate the authenticity of the voices within, and the way the journal charts shifts in British insect studies over decades. Those studying changes in British distribution will find baseline observations to compare with contemporary records; amateur recorders and institutional libraries alike can draw on this continuity of observation. Casual readers encounter vivid field accounts and clear discussion of species variation; classic-literature collectors gain a title that sits comfortably between natural history passion and scholarly rigour. A quietly indispensable volume for the discerning reader today.
